Science

Mechanism of Action

Functioning primarily as an emollient, Isocetyl Isodecanoate creates a protective, occlusive barrier on the skin's surface. This action significantly reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby locking in moisture and contributing to improved skin hydration and softness.
